Captains Courageous
As great as "Mutiny on the Bounty"
Directed by Victor Fleming
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A heartwarming coming-of-age adventure about a spoiled boy's transformation through honest work and human connection aboard a fishing vessel.
Harvey, the arrogant and spoiled son of an indulgent absentee-father, falls overboard from a transatlantic steamship and is rescued by a fishing vessel on the Grand Banks. Harvey fails to persuade them to take him ashore, nor convince the crew of his wealth. The captain offers him a low-paid job, until they return to port, as part of the crew that turns him into a mature, considerate young man.
